P-5-P

P5P is the active form of vitamin B6. It is required for the production of neurotransmitters that control depression, pain and anxiety. Studies show that P5P has beneficial effects on depression, stress, pain, and long-term memory. It also protects nerves and reduces the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome, and it supports the immune system.Low P5P levels are associated with greater cardiovascular risk. P5P is needed for homocysteine metabolism, to make sure that this potentially toxic compound does not reach dangerously high levels in the blood. Studies have found that P5P can lower blood pressure.
